A typical post picks up 20 interactions against 457K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 39 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 0.1% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 39 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 287 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Cheap Ass Gamer's engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 7% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.004%, Cheap Ass Gamer sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is Cheap Ass Gamer's engagement rate on X?
Cheap Ass Gamer (@videogamedeals) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 39 original posts from the last 30 days against 457,083 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.004%, Cheap Ass Gamer sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @videogamedeals have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @videogamedeals post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.57 posts per day across the measured window.
